I am a maker. I love making jewelry. Being able to imagine something and then create it with my two hands is so amazingly satisfying. I am one of the lucky few that can do what I love and make a living out of it. Being a self employed business owner isn't just about creating, there's many aspects I don't enjoy, but the bottom line is I feel honored that people appreciate my jewelry enough to buy it which allows me to make more jewelry.

September 2, 2017.. the day my world was turned upside down. Lets backtrack a few days before...

I have a new life change that recently happened. This past May I got married… Yes… I am now a wifey (I love saying that) and I have a husband that I adore. As magical as your wedding day is, we ALL know that planning and preparing for a wedding can be stressful and really try your patience at times. One of my tasks was to make my now husband Rich a wedding band. Easy task for a jeweler you say.. Nope!

The first show of the year for me is ACC Baltimore. It is a grandiose and prestigious show to exhibit in. I remember visiting it with my jewelry class in college thinking…wow… this is AMAZING!!! SO many artists coming together in one show, it’s a visual explosion and site to behold. I’m thrilled to be accepted and this year will be exhibiting in both wholesale and retail. This means for 2 days galleries and boutiques come to place orders and buy our work. The following 3 days the show becomes a bustling retail mecca and thousands of people pour in to peruse and purchase the handmade original art.
